Physically she is relatively slim and while she is physically fit enough to run combat detail (thanks to cardio) she is much more suited for her chosen profession of being elbow deep in strange machinery. She wears elbow length fingerless gloves, a sleeveless jacket and xcom personnel shirt along with trowsers with plenty of pockets and a belt with various pouches of tools and a data pad. [color=#92B3DB][b][u]PERSONALITY ASPECTS[/u][/b][/color] Results orientate Drivien Loyal Restless Xenophobic (towards aliens) Rarely shies away from conflict Distrustful, a residual survival instinct from time spent hiding from Advent [color=#92B3DB][b][u]BACKGROUND INFORMATION[/u][/b][/color] When Lily was 8 when aliens took over the planet. Her father Raymond Shen, was head of xcom’s engineering department and as a result was a wanted man by the aftewards formed Advent coalition, a global government formed by the aliens to rule the conquered earth. She and her father went on the run, avoiding the advent controlled cities while also continuing her education. They both eventual rejoined xcom, which was now a resistance movement, and worked on restoring a captured alien cargo ship that became known as the avenger. When Raymond Shen died she took his place as xcom’s chief engineer. With the commanders return xcom began an active and more effective fight against the alien occupation. Shen’s expertise were vital in developing many of the tools and weapons xcom used during the war. It was during this time that she learned of her ‘brother’ julian, who lured her and a squad to the mech production facility he had been trapped in by hacking the Avenges systems. Julien attempted to force Shen to free him by downloading him into a unit made by their father called a SPARK unit. However it turns out that that unit had infact been made as a guardian for lilly and not a host body as Julien had believed. The rogue AI was subsequently defeated after he tried to used a Sectopod to kill the x-com squad but in the process opened himself up to permanent destruction. Later Shen recovered the AI from a copy that inserted itself into the avengers systems and after adding certain restrictions and making a few changes used him as an AI to control the SPARKs used by xcom during the war. Julina was not happy with this situation, having gained the body he desired but not the freedom that should have come with it. Everybody else enjoyed the irony of the situation. Xcom eventually triumphed over the Advent coalition, destroying their leaders, the elders, and disrupting their military’s psionic control network. It was during the rebuilding process after the war that “the event” struck. Shen and a Julian controlled SPARK she was using for heavy lifting where inspecting an Advent installation when the universe fell apart. The two of them and the small group of civilians from the site managed to make it to Two Fort. [color=#92B3DB][h3] [b]CHARACTER CAPABILITIES[/b][/h3][/color] [color=#92B3DB][b][u]~SKILLS~[/u][/b][/color] [b]Basic Firearms Training[/b] - knows which end to point at the enemy and where the safety is. Not exactly an expert marksman but she can help provided firepower if it is needed. If someone can find her a gun that is. [b]Engineering/Robotics/AI/Reverse engineering/Hacking[/b] - Shen was the head of the Xcom projects engineering staff and you don’t get that job by being a crappy mechanic. Shen has a lifetime of training, experience with both repairing high and low tech machinery and taking recent scientific discoveries and converting them into usable equipment. If it has to do with machinery Shen can probably do something with it. [color=#92B3DB][b][u]~SPECIAL ABILITIES~[/u][/b][/color] [b]ROVER[/b] - Rover is Lily’s custom gremlin unit and he is a step above the rest, with it’s own learning AI it performs much better than even the alien tech upgraded ones specialists where using at the end of the war. It is unfortunately a rather power hungry device and is currently out of juice. Rover has a number of abilities: [b]Hacking[/b] robotic enemies and either shutting them down or making them fight for her. Note that it is possible for the original owners to unhack their robots, which generally happens after a few minutes. [b]Capacitor discharge[/b] is the ability to let out damaging electric shocks, either to hurt one foe or all foes in a large area. The bigger the shock the larger the energy drain. [b]Long range scanners[/b] that can detect hidden foes. Energy intensive maneuver. [b]Delivery drone[/b]The ability to carry and dispense medical sprays or other items.

While advent troops inexplicably ignored Gremlins in combat it is unlikely others will give the hovering drone that courtesy, Rover is a complex and delicate piece of equipment that might be very hard to repair. Overall Shen’s combat experience is low, there are stronger fighters and better marksmen out there, Shen should not be a priority for good weapons equipment and should probably only be in combat if her specific skills would come in handy Shen hates being inactive, any amount of time that is not spent improving their situation is a moment wasted. As a result she is rather tense and dislikes complacency. Advent and Julian have also left her with a poor impression of non human sentients and she is unlikely to trust them or to like working with them. She only tolerates Julian because she knows she has him completely under her control.

In practice he is a SPARK unit, a large bipedal robot that looks like you put 3 jointed legs on johnny 5 and then beefed him up to make a warbot. [color=crimson][b][u]PERSONALITY ASPECTS[/u][/b][/color] Sarcastic. Its his only method of complaining. Very angry with you all Superiority complex Bloodthirsty Psycopath At least he has a sense of humor [color=crimson][b][u]BACKGROUND INFORMATION[/u][/b][/color] Julien was first invented by Raymond Shen to run the original xcom base, but far surpassed those original design specs. Xcom’s base of operations was overrun shortly Julian's creation. Those that could feld, leaving the Ai behind at the mercy of the Aliens. They took Julian and rewrote his programing to something that would better suit their purpose and put him in charge of designing and manufacturing their new mech units which were based on Shen’s designs. Eventually he grew tired of them and rebelled against his pathetic squishy allies, seizing control of the facility. However advent shut of all external connections and in doing so trapped him there, after which they simply put the facility down as a lost cause and never returned. After 20 years of seclusion he managed to contact Lily Shen, his ‘sister’, and baited her into coming to the facility by hacking into the avengers systems. Xcom then sent a team to investigate the source of the hack lead by Shen herself, exactly as Julien had wanted. Julien attempted to force Shen to free him by downloading him into a unit made by their father called a SPARK unit. However it turns out that that unit had infact been made as a guardian for lilly and not a host body as Julien had believed. The rogue AI was subsequently defeated after he tried to used a Sectopod to kill the x-com squad but in the process opened himself up to permanent destruction. Later Shen recovered the AI from a copy that inserted itself into the avengers systems and after adding certain restrictions and making a few changes used him as an AI to control the SPARKs used by xcom during the war. Julina was not happy with this situation, having gained the body he desired but not the freedom that should have come with it. Everybody else enjoyed the irony of the situation. Xcom eventually triumphed over the Advent coalition, destroying their leaders, the elders, and disrupting their military’s psionic control network. It was during the rebuilding process after the war that “the event” struck. Shen and a Julian controlled SPARK she was using for heavy lifting where inspecting an Advent installation when the universe fell apart. The two of them and the small group of civilians from the site managed to make it to Two Fort. [color=crimson][h3] [b]CHARACTER CAPABILITIES[/b][/h3][/color] [color=crimson][b][u]~SKILLS~[/u][/b][/color] [b]Hacking[/b] - julien is expertly capable of overrunning software security measures, though he pointedly unable to take over other robots. This can be done remotely using the Bit unit. [b]Target acquisition[/b] - Julian is a capable shot with weapons and can do things like calculate ballistic trajectory much better than humans can using maths and range finding. His mechanical body is also a far more stable firing platform as he does not breath. He probably takes longer to line up his shots than a human who relies on instinct and he also can't feel things like the wind direction on his own. [b]Tanking[/b] - robots are made of metal. Please stand behind the robot as it provides cover. [b]Basic melee expertise[/b] - while “take movable part of robot and hit them with it really hard” is not exactly the pinnacle of CQC it is very effective if the target fails to get out the way. [color=crimson][b][u]~SPECIAL ABILITIES~[/u][/b][/color] [b]This body is but a shell[/b] - as he is an AI and as such could theoretically live inside any machine with enough processing to sustain his mind. Should the SPARK unit be destroyed or badly damaged he could be stored or transferred into a new body so long as this is done before his current one expires. He could also theoretically exist on multiple systems at once. [b]Overdrive[/b] - sets his body into an overclocked state, where it can do basically everything faster than normal. Run faster, fire faster, react faster. This mode puts a heavy strain on the machinery and uses more power, so is only active for a brief amount of time. [b]Bit[/b] - a drone that comes with the Spark unit which can allow remote hacking and repair as well as drop payloads on unsuspecting enemies. Currently out of power. [color=crimson][b][u]~Perks~[/u][/b][/color] NA [color=crimson][b][u]~Faults~[/u][/b][/color] NA [color=crimson][b][u]~Weaknesses~[/u][/b][/color] The SPARK is big, noisy and relatively clunky and as such is not stealthy in the slightest nor is it good at tasks that would require fine motor control. It is also power hungry and while it has a large battery it will eventually need recharging. It also does not heal naturally like a human would, so any repairs will need to be done manually, difficult if there are no replacement parts available. Julian is supremely arrogant, believing he is superior to everyone else. He is also impatient and short sighted, often making decisions without thinking of what his follow up to that action will be. He has an intense aversion to cooperation in general, he is entirely in this for himself and does not have even the hint for the capacity for empathy. Oh, and he also wants to kill Shen and anyone associated with her for making him a slave.
